A Middlesex Superior Court judge ruled that a Framingham man's confession that he kidnapped a woman in Framingham in 2010 and raped her while on probation for another rape can be used at trial.

Judge Diane Kottmyer Wednesday told William French's lawyer, Daniel Flannery and prosecutor Heidi Lyn Gosule that she has denied Flannery's motions to suppress. They had argued the two motions last month.

"I really don't see a basis for a motion to suppress," Kottmyer said.

Flannery had filed two motions. The first was to toss statements French made to police before and after he was given his Miranda rights. Those statements included several confessions that he raped the woman, whom he did not know.

He argued that French, 32, had been drinking prior to the statements, but five different police officers testified during a hearing that they did not detect any alcohol on his breath and he appeared to understand everything that they said to him.

The second motion was to suppress evidence of the search of the victim's apartment. Flannery said French deserved some expectation of privacy, even if it was not his home.

Kottmyer said she would issue her written findings by the end of the week.

Both Flannery and Gosule told the judge that they were both prepared for the Sept. 10 trial date. Flannery said he may have a motion in regards to criminal records of witnesses and a second about search warrant returns, but neither would require a trial delay.

French is charged with three counts of aggravated rape (subsequent offenses), two counts of unarmed burglary with assault, burglary, kidnapping, intimidation to steal from a depository, unarmed robbery, malicious destruction of property worth more than $250 and assault and battery.

Authorities say that French, on Feb. 19, 2010, cut off his GPS ankle bracelet that he was ordered to wear as part of his probation for a previous rape.

After an argument with his girlfriend, authorities say he approached the woman on Bishop Street as she got her mail, dragged her into her house and repeatedly raped her. At one point, he forced her to withdraw money from an ATM, and then raped her again.

During the attack, the woman briefly escaped and screamed for her help. A neighbor heard the scream and called 911.

French had been on probation after serving eight years in prison for a 2001 aggravated rape in Framingham. After he was released, he violated probation by smoking marijuana and was ordered to wear the GPS monitoring bracelet.

French is currently serving a nine-to-10 year prison sentence after he was found to be in violation of his probation.
